1 You the brother that I never had
Do you know if you had lived
What we would have done together
A year after me you would have been born
So we don't would not have left each other
Like two friends who look alike
We would have learned the slang by heart
I would have been your teacher
to my friend Cole Buissonniere
Sure that one day we would have fought
As long as we had then known
Together the same first.
R But you don't you're not here
Whose fault is it
Not my father
Not my mother
You could have sung that
2 You brother Father I never had
If you knew what I drank
Of my lonely sorrows
If you hadn't failed me
You would have finished my songs
I would have taught you how to make them
If life had behaved better
It would have divided in two
The pairs of gloves
The pairs of slaps
She would surely have shared
The words of love and the stones
The girls and the baton blows.
3 You, the brother I will never have
I am less alone for having made you
For a moment for a girl
I disturbed you, you forgive me
Here when everything abandons you
We create a family.
